9vx Description

Port of the plan 9 operating system to OS X 9vx is a port of the plan 9 operating system to freebsd, linux, and os x, using the vx32 sandboxing library to run "user" programs. 9vx runs as an ordinary user program, but behaves like a separate vm running plan 9. 9vxmakes host resources like the file system, graphics windows, network stack, and audio devices available as file systems.9vx requires no host kernel modifications or special privileges, and it runs unmodified plan9 386 binaries (thus, 9vx is like hosted inferno, except that it runs native 386 plan 9 binaries instead of dis files.)Usage: Download, unpack, and then:cd 9vx-0.11./9vx.OSX -u glendaNOTE: 9vx is only lightly tested. There are certain to be bugs, especially in the freebsd and os x versions, which have been used far less than the linux one. What's New in This Release: · 9vx-0.12 fixes a few OS X bugs and adds a #S device. Compared to 9vx-0.10, only the 9vx binaries are different.
